Potts is regarded as good prospect at West Ham, but his lack of first-team opportunity over recent seasons has given Luton cause for optimism.

The League Two side believe that they could capture the full-back and it would be a signal of their intent if they did.

Luton will be hunting a promotion place this season, as one of the biggest clubs in England's fourth tier, and they seemingly feel Potts could be a vital piece of the jigsaw.

A full-back who is capable going forward as well as doing a solid job defensively, Potts has already impressed in League Two - on loan spells earlier in his career - and he will be hoping to show his class again if he does move on.
